When we meet with others, we bring some kind of judgement, complication and confusion with us. This is part of our life as self. But everything becomes very simple when we drop everything and step into the meeting with only pure presence. This is part of our life as Dharma itself, as 
the radical acceptance of What Is.

The Gift of Pure Presence

Stoep Zen is a series of Dharma Talks by Antony Osler (Dae Chong, Osho), the guiding teacher at Poplar Grove Zendo in South Africa and a former Zen monk. The ‘Stoep’ in the title refers to the stoop or porch of an old farm house in the remote dry veld where the zendo is situated; it refers to the title of Antony’s first book and the zendo website (stoepzen.co.za); and it refers to the plain embodiment quality of the Zen practice there. The talks draw from traditional Zen teachings and koans to make them relevant wherever we live and whatever life we lead.
